Necessary information for Know Your Customer verification (United Kingdom example)

Know Your Customer verification is necessary for ezyVet sites that are in Australia. The verification is necessary for each ezyVet site.

Important: After you complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for an ezyVet site, the site receives a new phone number from the applicable SMS provider. The new phone number replaces the initial phone number that the site used for SMS messages. Thus, before you do KYC verification, it is important to tell your customers about the phone number change. For example, you could tell your customers that they will receive SMS messages from a different phone number.
